Wow, thanks guys. A stupendous, magnificent flash just at the precise moment. I guess the film to video transfer that I used skipped the crucial frame. Mystery solved.

Hello everyone, I know nothing about the state of the art of sports photography right now, let alone what it was in 1959. But, I am fascinated by a photograph of Billy Cannon's Halloween night punt return touchdown. The photo looks like a flash was used but the video of the play does not show a flash. Check out the video I have uploaded to Youtube and see what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icVXvcSZTAs My question is: Was a flash necessary to take that photo in 1959? Thanks for tolerating a novice's ignorance, Charlie
